Show Hint
Logic Tip: Always convert Watts to kiloWatts (divide by 1000) early in the calculation to keep the numbers small and easy to compare with the given output power.

- A particle of mass m moves on a straight line with its velocity increasing with distance according to the equation \( v = \alpha \sqrt{x} \), where \(\alpha\) is a constant. The total work done by all the forces applied on the particle during its displacement from \( x = 0 \) to \( x = d \), will be:

- A block of mass 1 kg, moving along x with speed \( v_i = 10 \) m/s enters a rough region ranging from \( x = 0.1 \) m to \( x = 1.9 \) m. The retarding force acting on the block in this range is \( F_r = -kx \) N, with \( k = 10 \) N/m. Then the final speed of the block as it crosses this rough region is
